It seems there are a few Redskins fans struggling to find excuses for another 10 point performance of which absolutely zero were engineered by Ramsey and the first teamers.

I wouldn't call it excuses untill the games count for something. Pre-season is the worst time for hyper-analysis. I would not be anymore or less optomistic if they went 40-0. I hope Gibbs gives PR 4 games in the real season, he earned it last year.
I do agree, however, that if he has not played well after 4 weeks he drops to #3 on the depth chart (yes I would rather have the Rook get experience than go back to a benched PR).
Bottom line for me is: In the last 5 games last year PR went 3-2. One of those losses he put us in the position to win but the defense gave up the game. The other he lost was a close game in Philly (3 points. I know he blew a throw late but we were in it w/ a superbowl team)
If he plays like he did in the last 5 games of last year, our line plays better(Rabach) and our special teams get better we will win 10 + games and have a shot at the division or a wild card.
I think folks forget that for the first time since Gibbs left (that I can remember) at the end of last year we beat teams we should and lost close games to good teams. We dont need quantum leaps to win 10. we need to get just a little bit better
